Thanks for putting me on the right track, Alexis! I think the variables I'm looking for are these:
theme.taglist_squares_sel_empty theme.taglist_squares_unsel_empty Although it does not work the way i excepted it to. When setting these, and only these I don't get any images at all. I have to dig a deeper into the code to see how this work. I'll let you guys know of any progress.
